St. Anthony on the Desert Ministries

At St. Anthony on the Desert we believe in a Christ-centered ministry mindset. That means the first thing that happens is asking God where he wants us and then listening for the answer. Even when a need exists and we are well qualified to meet it, we may not necessarily be called to do it. To be doing what is merely good can be the greatest obstacle to doing something really great.

Even when a need exists and we are well qualified to meet it, we may not necessarily be called to do it. To be doing what is merely good can be the greatest obstacle to doing something really great. Genuine ministry involves both giving and receiving. Mutual nurturing is experienced when we are brought to Christ by those we serve.

An important thought to keep in mind is that doing good things may not be ministry if God is not the inspiration behind the activity. This means having the right people in the right places for the right reasons providing meaning and value to the people they serve and to themselves. We invite you to listen to God's call for you and join us in our ministry to each other and to our community.

  • Service Times
Wednesday Worship
Holy Communion & Healing Service
This noonday service combines prayers for healing with a celebration of the Eucharistic. This intimate service is held in our Chapel of St. Luke the Physician. Laying on of hands is offered for those seeking healing.

Sunday Worship
Holy Communion 8:00 a.m. Are you an early riser? Join us for a more intimate service of Holy Eucharist with organ and cantor.

Holy Communion 10:00 a.m. This service time meets the needs of many families as we offer a staffed nursery as well as programs for children and youth. The Holy Eucharist is celebrated with gifted musical support from our various choirs.

Third Sunday As the name suggests on the Third Sunday of each month (September through May) our 10 am service provides a special emphasis on children and youth. A bit more abbreviated liturgy incorporates a children’s sermon time and showcases our talented Chalice Players as they provide a dramatic rendering of our scripture stories.

  • start the day...
Gratefulness - Word
Gratefulness – the simple response of our heart to this life in all its fullness – goes beyond boundaries of creed, age, vocation, gender, and nation. Start each day with a word of gratefulness.

Gratefulness - Labryinth
Take a moment during your day to walk the labyrinth. You’ll be so glad you did.
